General Anesthesia
Anesthesia may be recommended for a variety of dental needs, including patients with dental anxiety, special needs, or young children who are unable to comfortably cooperate during procedures.
​
General anesthesia in the dental office can create an optimal setting for safe, efficient, and comprehensive treatment.
Which Level of Anesthesia Is Right for Me?
The appropriate level of anesthesia is determined through a consultation with the patient and the treating dentist or surgeon. Dr. Smith will speak with you prior to your procedure to review your needs and recommend the best option.
​
Time will be provided to answer any questions you or your caregiver may have.
Moderate/Deep Sedation
In some cases, general anesthesia may not be the ideal option due to medical considerations or patient preference. In these situations, moderate (conscious) sedation may be recommended.
​
This approach typically involves placing an IV and administering medications to reduce anxiety and discomfort while allowing you to remain responsive.
